If you had to pick one of three, which would you choose?

I used to be shredded, but skinny. Without bulk, it's seriously overrated, no one cares.

I could look like an action figure with a 20-pack abs, but the second I put a shirt on, I'd look like literally any other guy. With bulk, you can see the muscle shape underneath the shirt.

With that said, I like being ripped, I'd choose option A. Too much bulk looks impractical to me, and you're always hungry.

RIP Greg Plitt.
 
Is the amount of work, discipline and opportunity cost supposed to be calculated in to my answer?

1. Is obviously great. Too much year round effort. Not guna weigh my food and do over an hr of cardio a day 7 days a week.

2. The pic doesn't match reality. Bulky but the pic is of a dude with 10/11% body fat? Make that dude with a soft midsection you get from eating for mass. Then we have bulky.

3. I guess is good genetics along with consistent work in gym and steady no junk food.


3 no contest. Least effort. Most desirable to women.

Nice that you noticed Greg Plitt. It's unfortunate he died so young and still had lots to give.
 
Shredded. I don't see the point in working out and not having abs.

This.

Even if you could magically warp into one of these dude's bodies, maintaining the physique is the hard part. Maintaining 1 is a world of self-absorption away from 3 and even that takes dedicated diet and exercise. Anything more ripped than 3 isn't going to help with the ladies - they'll just think you're a narcissist and you won't have time for them anyway because you'll be too busy prepping steamed broccoli, dry chicken breast and brown rice to tote around in tupperware, getting enough recovery sleep, walking for hours to burn fat between lifting sessions and generally being a total misanthrope.

Normal, because if you give someone a shredded body it would be gone in a few months. Most people have no idea how much work and money is involved with keeping a body like the guys in the OP. Guys like that have to maintain that physique on a constant basis and if you could do that you would have a shredded body.
